The #democraticparty tried a #centrist position and it did not win. Look at #berniesanders and #aoc to find your platform, #democrats. If you don’t offer that, then you are complicit with the right wing. #progressive #socialism #leftism #leftist #left #labor #wethepeople

Grey morality keeps the balance. Grey doesn’t care about being good or evil: it simply does to others what has been done to it. #philosophy #spirituality #magic #ethics #morals

I started caring about trans peoples’ rights when I understood that, like me, they were being hated for simply existing. Either we all have rights to autonomy, or nobody really has rights to autonomy.

Good is disadvantaged. Good has no violence, no means to defend itself, for good is always benevolent. This is why there is grey. The questionable. The neither good nor evil. Good cannot defend itself, so something not good must do the work. #morality #ethics #society #philosophy #magic

Writers must understand what we write. This means getting to know people and their actual lives. And yes, sometimes it means we have to say “I’m completely oblivious and I want to change that.”

The art of #story can involve #metaphor and #hyperbole. Of course, literalism is also a valid form of #storytelling. #usa #politics #republican #gop #humor #propaganda #butisitreallythough
